washington women penniless i have known women in washington society who go from week to week with never a penny of their own for spending money they are industrial slaves de pendent for every necessity of life upou the whims and good nature of their hus bands it might be that some of that salary might have to come back to the home again to procure comforts and pay some of the expenses bnt then the joy of giv ing from her earned money would be hers explained mrs wiley children are part pay _ i can really see no reason however why a mother should get more salary than a wife who has no children a woman's duty to her child is on such a high plane that the financial question cannot enter there of course she often gives up eut side duties and works harder when the little ones come but her pay for this will come from the children themselves it is the duty of every woman to learn a profession or trade to support herself and aid the family purse if necessary nevertheless the husband

sons will be married in this catha j i dral unless they present a certifi / cate of health from a reputable 5 physician to the effect that they s are normal physically and men s tally and have neither an incurable s nor communicable disease where law has failed to put end to great evil we hope to succeed he says in sermon backed by bishop after easter sunday no marriage cere monies will be performed in the cathedral of ss peter and paul unless a certificate of health accompanies the marriage license presented by couples who wish to be united in wedlock this certificate must be signed by a reputable physician and must attest that both parties are phy sically fit to marry though scientists prominent physicians and huudreds of organizations of women all over the world have pointed to the crying need of health certificates signed by a physician of standing for those contem plating matrimony and have urged legls lation to that end it has remained for a Chicago clergyman to take the first de cisive step and where the law-maiing bodies of the country have failed it is believed by those back of the movement that the church will win the announcement that the marrisf license and wedding ring are to be con sidered as secondary requisites in the cath edral of ss peter and paul was made in his sermon yesterday by dean walter t sumner expect all churches to act though the edict of dean sumuer was made with the full approval of bishop c p anderson of the cticago diocese of the church embracing approximately one hun dred parishes the order is not one that will affect other churches unless it is advo cated by the clergymen themselves but little difficulty however is antici pated by dean sumner and his aids along this line not only do they expect similar stands by the churches of the diocese but they believe that within a year prac tically every church in Illinois of all de nominations will have erected an impas sible barrier to couples who do not lave the health certificates for years such a movement as has been created by dean sumner has ibeen advo cated throughout the world by the leading thinkers scientists and physicians wom en too have taken no small

members of the Chicago medical society recently dr g frank lydston proposed a marriage board of physicians to pass on the eligi bility of those contemplating matrimony every one who is to be married should first he examined by a state hoard of phy sicians he said every precaution should be taken to keep the insane feeble-minded and habitual criminal from marrying likewise those unfit by disease to marry should not be granted licenses at present we have no safeguard whatever and any man who ap pears to be half normal can obtain a license to marry by paying the fee there are many sentimental musings about marriages having been made in heaven bnt i think it is time for less sentiment and more common sense the state should poss a law providing for a board composed of physicians whose duty it would be to grant licenses to those fit mentally and physically to be married the plan ef dr lydston met with the approval of physicians judges and the women but it never crystallized in legis
